[quote=Anonymous]New poster, but I wanted to relay our experience. My daughter went through lice checks by parent volunteers at school a couple of years ago. She was pretty young and never said much about it to us. This summer, she found out they would do a lice check before camp started. She broke down in tears and told us she didn't want to go to camp. She finally relayed to us how much she hated having strangers at school poking through her hair, that they had often ended up pulling her hair, and that they were talking about the kids with one another while doing it. She is not particularly sensitive, but it left a real impression on her. I don't deny that lice is a huge pain and we have dealt with it twice at VERY inconvenient times in life. I don't want to deal with it again, and I check my kids at least once a week. But I would ask to opt out of school checks, particularly if the school had parent volunteers checking. [/quote]
